Live Scan captures your fingerprints digitally and submits them electronically to the requesting agency — eliminating the smudges, rejections, and mailing delays of ink cards. It's the preferred method for most state-level licensing, employment, and clearance requirements.
Bring your agency's request information and a photo ID, and you'll be in and out quickly. Need to print a whole team? Ask about our mobile group service.
Live Scan is required for a wide range of licenses, jobs, and clearances.
Nursing, real estate, security, contractors, and other state boards.
Teachers, aides, daycare staff, and volunteers who work with children.
Clinicians, caregivers, and facility staff requiring clearance.
Background clearance for prospective parents and household members.
Have these ready and your appointment will take just a few minutes.
A current government-issued ID — driver's license, state ID, or passport.
Your ORI number or the request form/instructions provided by the requesting agency.
Any applicant code, license type, or reference number the agency assigned.
Cash, debit, and major credit cards accepted.
Live Scan captures prints electronically and sends them digitally to the agency — faster and cleaner, and ideal for most state submissions. Ink fingerprinting produces a physical card (like the FBI FD-258) still required by the FBI, USCIS, and many out-of-state or federal agencies. See ink fingerprinting →
An ORI (Originating Agency Identifier) tells the system which agency should receive your results. The agency requesting your fingerprints provides it — bring it to your appointment so we can route your submission correctly.
Because Live Scan is electronic, submission is immediate. How quickly the agency processes and responds varies by agency, but it's typically faster than mailing ink cards.
